[Insight-developers] LIBXML2

[Stephen R. Aylward]

Hi,

I'm seeking comments on the inclusion of LibXML2 with ITK.

Currently, ITK is distributed with expat; however, expat does not offer DOM,
XPath, verification, or any other high-level XML feature.   LibXML2 offers
those features.

It has been requested that we include LibXML2 with ITK.   LibXML2 is already
distributed with VTK, has been wrapped, and supports re-use (its is possible
to use a system installation of libxml2 is used instead).   The license is
compatible with ITK.   The code requires about 7 megs.   It is supported on
more platforms than ITK supports.

Please post your comments...

Thanks,
Stephen
